Web safe fonts

Do you often get bored by seeing the same font types all over the internet and in all computers? Here is a practical overview for you:
A list of all fonts (displayed IN their own font type) safe to use, ranked after certainty of displaying well on the web.

More intro:
• Web designers are currently limited to using only those fonts in their designs that are installed on the end user's machine. Since we can only rely on those fonts that are pre-installed on user's machine being available to the UA, most designers have limited themselves to using one of the 11 Core Web Fonts that they know will be installed on all Windows and Macs.

• This list of Web safe fonts takes into account the most likely Roman Fonts that will be installed on computers. It lists the font name usable by CSS, weights and styles available, the likelihood the font will be installed (based on install source), and a sample of the font as an image. This list is based on hours of research and cross referencing, but is still being vetted. If you find any errors, please contact Jason at speakinginstlyes dot com.
